Why this workshop?

​Patient advocacy is characterised by urgent need for change and limited resources. 'Lean Start-up Thinking' operates under similar constraints- and with this workshop, we will look into which elements of Lean Start-up Thinking we can adopt for a Lean Advocacy Approach- for the fastest improvements for Melanoma patients.​

Who should apply?

This workshop is directed at MPNEhubs, European Melanoma advocates who want to connect between their own country and the European Melanoma community- we are looking for advocates with a keen interest to share, work together and put in the effort before, during and after the workshop to produce concrete results for our network!

​

This is a workshop for advocates who want to learn about effective advocacy and what we can learn from start-ups to become

The number of participants is limited to 30 advocates to ensure effective exchange. A good enough working knowledge of English is essential to participate in the discussions!
